SAFE G: Empowering Resilient Communities


Mission. To empower local communities to design immediate and effective SAFE G solutions that implement optical fiber wired to the home and office. Local taxpayers and ratepayers are entitled to this alternative to wireless, because they have already paid for it. Please see: Irregulators v. FCC.

5G/AI/Internet of Things Juggernaut presents an imminent threat. The harms to our community’s physical and mental health, the local environment, violations of citizen’s rights to due process, property, and personal privacy are foreseeable and preventable. The threat is especially dangerous to our children, elderly people, those with special sensitivities, disabled persons with chronic illnesses, caregivers, and our economically disadvantaged and minority communities that have no escape in their homes or workplaces.

Remedy: Community Empowerment: An effective remedy begins with widespread education and training in a proven system of wise leadership, community organization, team building, and negotiation. With this purpose we have created a 5G Dojo to support local communities around the world that are facing similar challenges. The key is to share negotiation successes and practical experience, so these lessons can be immediately deployed within the network. Equally essential is to fortify community-wide resilience rapidly and effectively. (See: 5 Minutes toResilience)

There is a story behind each of my photos and many of them have a lot of meaning. For example, the one above has a special meaning for me.  I found it on one of the Santa Barbara beaches.  The tree has been there for a long time and has been bent over by the winds of time.  It is like most of us as we get older.  Can you see the beauty in the moment?  Again it is like each of us as we get older, we age with the experiences of life, but we are still beautiful.

One of the most important lessons I learned by taking photographs was that by slowing down I could see much more of the world than I saw when I was in a hurry. If you go for a ride in a car, you can see a certain beauty in nature.  If you get out of your car and walk, you can even see more—much more.  However, if you take your camera with you and take photos of what you are seeing, you will begin to be part of nature and see even more.  And then if you download the photos onto your computer and look at them up close, you will totally be amazed at the glory and overwhelming magic that is in nature.  Nature becomes a miracle, and it is possible to see God in nature. The secret is slowing down.
